ALSO, AS PROMPTS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, and in the spirit of Halloween: August's GHOST TRICK event!
O-Bon festival: The streets are lined with NPC-run stalls for food, games, and the assorted tchotchkes of every summer festival you’ve ever seen in your animes! There’s Goldeen Scoop, heaping cones of Swirlix Candy, Test Your STRENGTH (there are two different machines for people and Pokémon; HM04 not required); basically, if you can think of it, it’s there. There will also be a yukata rental stall if you want to go full hog on the cultural side of things. Ecruteak boasts a small stage where the Kimono Girls give a short performance once every two hours; the festivities in Lavender Town are a little quieter, but they also have Haunter-shaped ice cream treats. When you lick them, they Lick you!
On the last evening of the festival in either location, there will be a large bonfire and traditional bon-odori dance in which everyone is welcome to participate. In Lavender Town only, they also set paper lamps afloat in the water past the cliffs.
Who you gonna call?: Remember “The Ghost of Maiden’s Peak”? Well, some of the local Gastly, Duskull, and Yamask seem to have gotten it into their heads that this kind of tomfoolery is somehow good medicine. If your trainer had someone in their life, someone now dead, that they have unresolved business with, these ghosties may take it upon themselves to play a little dress-up and follow your trainer around in the guise of said dead person until the issue is resolved. It’s their way of saying thank you for all the spiritual appeasement of the festival.
These ghosts won’t speak; Pokémon don’t talk, after all. So yes, your trainer is going to be followed around by some silent echo of their past who will not leave them alone.
Or, of course, write your own!

Amethyst | Steven Universe
[Human festivals as an entity aren't completely foreign to Amethyst; she's been around long enough that she's been to a few, even if they were pretty different from this one. Still, she's a literal garbage can of a gem, and is powerless to resist the draws of rowdy company and an endless array of snacks and junk food and sweets. Hey, so what if she doesn't have much money. She can probably make it back in an underground fighting ring or something, right?
With her Hawlucha trailing behind her, Amethyst swaggers up to the Test Your Strength! booth, letting out a raucous laugh.]
Yeah-h! This is what I'm talking about. Gimme that hammer, dude.
[The small gem flexes her biceps menacingly, glancing around to make sure she has a proper audience. What's a show-off without some one to show off to?]
Step aside, kids, let me show you how it's done!
[It's just too bad she hasn't figured out quite yet that her gem powers are gone.]
b. O-BON FESTIVAL: CHOWING DOWN (goldenrod city)
[Later on, Amethyst can be found at any one of the food stalls; instead of cautiously sampling the available treats, all of which are foreign to her, she's eagerly going to town on pretty much all of them. Where someone more timid might ask for one of each, Amethyst is asking for four or five of each, and shoving them all in her maw: rice balls, pastries, kebabs—none are discriminated against, and all are devoured with plenty of lip smacking and exclamations. It's almost as if she wants everyone to know just how dang good everything is. Or perhaps she just wants everyone to see how good she is at eating copious amounts of food.
If you catch her eye, however, she might just offer to share, holding out one of whatever she's got with a wide grin.]
Hey, try this! It's—I don't really know what it is, but it's good!

How can someone so small fit so much food into their body? It should be biologically impossible.
Oh--!
He's suddenly handed cotton candy, cotton first. It's sticky...]
Thanks. I guess.
[He really has no choice but to eat it at this point. He takes starts by licking a hand clean so he can firmly grasp this item the proper way, by the stick.] This is cotton candy. It's basically just pure sugar. Probably why it's so good.
no subject
[Amethyst cackles and opens her mouth astonishingly wide, shoving her second nest of cotton candy straight in. Did she eat the stick, too? Probably.]
Cotton candy, huh? What is it with humans and naming their food after plants and fabric and stuff? Why not just call it...sugar fluff or something.
[That sure isn't stopping her from devouring another whole serving of it whole, of course.]
no subject
Well. I think it's because it looks like a cotton ball and because people think they're clever. Also, sugar is not something people should be eating. Too much is bad for you. Especially this kind. So if sugar is right there in the name people won't be as keen to eat it. People feel better about eating things that are bad for them if the problem with it isn't being shoved in their face.`
You don't seem to have a problem with any of that though.
[Not a nice thing to say. He can't help it. He's a doctor too. Making unwarranted and snide comments were basically in the job description. His own personal job description.]
no subject
[She is 100% forgetting that she's human now, and her body actually has to digest things now. Leave it to Amethyst to continue eating garbage, both figuratively and literally, until she makes herself ungodly sick.]
no subject
[He takes a careful bite of the cotton candy, offering a shrug at his own words.]
But who am I to tell you all that. I'm a former surgeon not a dietitian. So you keep doing you.
[Always so charming.]

What's a diabetes?
no subject
In much more simpler terms, if you eat too much sugar your body stops being able to process the things it needs to handle it. Best case scenario you need a shot to help your body out. Worst case... you die.
[He shrugs and continues to much on his treat. Most worst case medical scenarios end with death. But he's just here to tell it like it is. Bedside manner is not where he excels.]

ISN'T HUMAN FOOD GREAT?????

Yeah, dude, it's pretty cool. Who knew you could fit so many fried foods on a stick, right?

[Amethyst actually spits out some food, she laughs so hard. Okay, dude, listen. Muscles are not an issue here. She drops the remains of her unidentified-food-on-a-stick to the ground and lifts both arms in her most aggressive flex. True enough, her biceps bulge pretty impressively for someone of such a small, round stature.]
Come on, man, my muscles are already bomb diggity!
